Runs well on modern hardware.

Weird, beautiful, and surprisingly relaxing. Half the game is just walking around delivering packages, but somehow it works. The story is absolutely insane, the world is gorgeous, and the soundtrack hits at exactly the right moments. It’s definitely not for everyone, but if you’re into slow-burn games with a bizarre story and a ton of atmosphere, give it a shot.
Amazing story, beautiful world, incredible music… and approximately 97% walking.
I understand it now
